Re: : Create table taking time

I did not calculate the IO behavior of the server.

What i noticed for the logs is that, the checkpoints are occurring too frequently each checkpoint is taking up to minimum 80 - 200+ seconds to complete write and checkpoint sync is taking 80 - 200+ seconds to sync, which is  i believe IO intensive.

Thanks

just ruling out something obvious -- this is vanilla create table, not
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT...?

also, what's i/o wait -- are you sure your not i/o bound and waiting
on transaction commit?
